Unless it was a bad dismissal (such as stealing from the company, etc.) then most ex employers don't really care where you get your next job and few want to get mixed up in giving you a bad review (at least here in Canada.) It is not illegal to do so. A former employer has the right (but not a right to lie about an employee) to give their views on your work habits to your new employer. It would be smart of you to choose your words carefully and tell your next possible new employer the truth about your previous employer. I worked at a soft drink company in the 70s and did a good job. I found some discrepancies in the books and made the mistake of going to the Manager. Soon after I was fired and warned not to make trouble. Obviously there was something going on there. I didn't want to risk future problems, but, when I went for a interview in a good company I just told the person interviewing me that my former employer and I didn't see eye-to-eye when it came to some of the figures in bookkeeping. He took me at my word and never regretted hiring me.
